    Ok, I have a form that requires a user to provide information and that information I create an HTML report. From the HTML report, I would like to use one of the columns information in another form as a dropdown box so that a user can choose from that list of information. Is that possible? And can you show me how?

    It is now possible to populate values from the HTML report into a form. It is, however, possible to populate field values from a spreadsheet to the form. It requires the Spreadsheet to Form widget

    This mechanism requires a call to a Database. That is not possible to accomplish with Jotform. My recommendation would be to download the full source code of the form and apply some PHP/MySQL programming to meet this requirement.

    Unfortunately no, it is not possible to populate form fields with the value from HTML Table listing report. 

    Please take a look at our "Spreadsheet to Form" widget and see if that fits into your requirement.
